His success, was beyond precedent, and whilst the peasantry were astonished by his daring, their necessities were alleviated by his bounty. The following anecdotes are relatediof Ho recently went to thechotille of a farmer, whose cattle, &c. had. been seized for rent. He told the man, he understood the was honest and induNtrious, and that a large family was: dependants on him for support; he enquired the amount of the debt, and being ans wered . p 41. he inimediately made him a pre• sent iof the siurn: • He, however, kept a watch upon the landlord, 4hosii he robbed of money Abort. ly after.he bad received it.

The day Brenan' so strangely escaped naked. through the town of Tipperary, his wife was seized and conveyed tOprisen : be shortly after solicited an interview with a Magistrate in whose honour he confided, and to whom be oared to deliver him, self up, provided his wile was restored 'to [lime and that they wive to be sent to •any pert of the world, except Botany _Hy; fhiclving, t hat he had never done persona{ y to any one, but that he would take s;xtOtt . live' if tioy ill happei4A to hip wik Government, hOvvvvee, mit deeming it expedient lb' accede to this puipn,itil, he da:l:nott l would Nit, every housv• in the country -; and he having enrolled some fellows, innuctliately began to Carry his threat into eXtoiltioH; VEB. 14, Further considerable progress continues to be made in the general reduaion of Martinigne, the Tat'ns of St. Pierre and -Fort Royal, with the extensive arsenals near the latter, and Fort Edward, being subsequently to the accounts given in our last, re speaively surrendered, without opposition, to our forces. St. Pierre was taken possession of on the Bth instant by Col. BARNBS, and is now garrisoned by 200 or% he 63d regiment, under Major O'RouaK E. On the gth, Major-Gen. MAITLAND sent in 300 men under Col. MeNita;' from Case Naviere, to Fort Royal, who patroleckthe town, and received the parole of above 500 of the enemy's troops, sick and wounded in the hospitals. Our troops afterwards enier ed Fort Edward, which the enemy bad privately eva cuated, after spiking and dismounting the guns; but in their precipitancy they left_ two serviceable mortars, ready loaded; and they have since been well employ ed by a detachment of our artillery upon the works of Fort Bourbon,which is now completely invested— Major-General Wistmitan occupying the extent from Case. Naviere to Sourrier, on one side; and Brig.-Gen. NICHOLSON the other,. from. Sourrier to. Cul de sac de Cohie. His ExCellency, Lieut.-Gene. ral BECKWITH lass establi.lted his Head-quarters at Preclair, and, with Sir G. PEETOST, commands at Sourrier, and are making the most' indefatigable et ertions to complete the mortar 'batteries tor' the siege of Fort Bourbon. The Squadron remain at Case' Naviere, and are unremittingly employed in landing and getting up the heavy cannon, lice. fur that purpose; and Com modores COCKBURN (who has hoisted' his broad pen nant on board the Pompee) superintends and direas the co-Operation of the seamen with the,most lenda ble zeal. There arc already two batteriescompleted on Mono Turquison, near Point Negro, but they will not be opened before those at •Sourrier are ready; in the mean lime, howiwer, the 'enemy's attialtioa is occupied by our fire from Fort Edward' (we preserve the name given on our last reduttion of Fort Royal), and shells are continually passing be- tween that and Fort Bourbon;• but on the evening of the nth, several Shrapnel' shells were thrown with considerable success-from our. advanced post into the advanced redoubt of that fortress, the men being seen to run in great confusion. Their garrison, desert fast, .numbers of them bar ing'coMe over to our camp ; and they report with confidence, that a large part of the garrison, consist .,lug of Germans, Piedrtiontese, and Poles, are ready to . follow their example, if they are assured of being sent passengers to Europe.

Major-General MA.ITLARD has been appointed by the Commander in Chief, Commandant-General for the present of the whole Island. • The actions with ,the first division of our Army immediately under Lieut. ' _Gen.•BECKWITH and Sir G. PREVOST, hitherta but imperfectly understood, now appear to have been.,of greater e:ste:►t and irn portance than had before transpired. The first bri gade of-this army led by Sir Guottos, with the light infantry battalion of Brig. Gen.. EIOUGHTON, attackd theenemy on the ►st inst. posted on Morn() Bruno, and in a most gallant and successful manner drove him from his position, anti compelled him to take up a fresh one on the: heights of Sourrier, with con siderable loss ; and on our part with that of 35 men killed, and 195:W010ded nod missing.. The coirdu4 of our troops on thiti occasion was highly meritori ous; and on the following day• Was still; if possible, more so—they ...again attacked the, enemy, now strongly posted on Mount Sourrier, and defended by field pieces, but from a too great impetuosity they were twice repulsed, and 'suffered a loss of 42 killed, and 129 wounded and missing ; not, how ever, without making such an impression on the :enmity as rendered itis position so untenable, and taught him whit he alien again expect, that, during the night, he withdrew ,into his principal • works, leaving the posts to be occupied by our troops. 'The following is A Correct gist of the British offi cers killed and wounded during• the siege : ' I Major Maxwell, of,the King's, btrd to death from a wound in the arm. Captain Tayler, of the yth Killed.' Captain St. Clair, or the a6th, killed. , Lieut,Col. Packenham, wounded in the cheek doing well. hlajor Campbell wounded severely.

The York Rangers, seamen, and Artillery men, were nQw employed in disci ntling the batteries erette4 against the Island, and in eonveiing em to the other side, for the attack of Fort B ,urbon. The batteries at Point Negro were now evacuated by the Enemy, and the guns spiked and upset off their eardagelt.- . On the 6th inst., all the batteries near the Pearl* and in.

On the tot!), the four mortars which the enemy left in Fort Edward were turned upon him, and commenced firing together'with four 24:pounders.
